external rss feeds as html links

i was wondering if anybody has a solution in the form of a bbpress plugin that allows display of external rss feeds as links (link title + short description) on the page. i know that rss2html exists, but since i’m a total newbie as far as bbpress is concerned, i find it hard to incorporate it. it would be great if this could be achieved with a plugin.

just to clarify: i need to be able to select an external rss feed, then put a simple call to the function/plugin in the template, and have the feeds displayed on the page as regular html…
